me. i was actually held inside this closet, and one of the inmates, we were sitting down, and he actually had a knife, homemade knife at my throat here and another one at my chest here. i had two male officers that were up here in the first part of this unit, which is this one right here. we had another officer who happened to be a female officer who was all the way in the back of the units doing a unit check at the time that i got taken. the female officer all the way in the back of the unit was the only one that heard the noise that was made at that time and actually went down to check up on me. the other inmates came out and chucked a piece of broomstick at her. she slammed the door shut and made the alert, and that's when they actually found out that i was being held hostage. >> shortly after the alert, a rescue squad made its move. >> thank god for the warden at that time because he actually did what he had to do and got me out of this place alive. you can actually see some of the old bullet holes when they came in and shot this place up to get me out.
